Game was not found at EmuMovies - ScummVM

Almost all the ScummVM games i try to scrape with EmuMovies gives this error and the few it detects, are without video (which is what I'm looking for).

The games are linked properly to the LB game database IDs and named according to that (Platform associated ScummVM).

I have a lifetime license for EmuMovies and I'm logged in LB Integration settings.

Am i missing something?

Majority of EMUMovies media for ScummVM is named using the ScummVM ID format which is short version of full title.  LB matches things by title or whatever alt name is in the LB DB.  If you go to the EmuMovies FTP site (which as subscriber you have access to) in video section you can see the naming used or if you download an art pack for ScummVM.  There are a few with titles close enough for LB to match but vast majority LB doesn't know what to do, so no match is displayed.  Basically boils down to they are not talking same language.

Makes sense, in fact if i rename the game folders to match ScummVM IDs, almost all games are recognized.

Not ideal for me, i prefer downloading media manually and keep the folder structure clean.

Thanks
